(Odd really), Why this one doesn’t bend in the middle! 800303? Taken a while ago. But seeing 1000 (15) in this very spot recently got me dreaming of Western 1000 (41) Prince), Again in this very spot! Bristol – N/Abbot run 60 year ago? My mate on inner Bristol platform similar but not exact times would wave bye and he’s off London way! Then…
